REVIEWS / RADIOPLAY / FEEDBACK :

" With their sound somewhere between NES Punk and joyous "Ufftata" Desert Planet are a "must" for every video-game drinking-party, numerous soundeffects and sometimes even a hymnic undertone are the perfect invitation for alcoholic interaction. "
DE:BUG Bob 5/5 (Germany)


"Großartig! "Brilliant!"
Musikansich.de/Hendrik Stahl 18/20 (Germany)


"[…] This trashy 8-Bit sound is definitely not new and they don't intend to change the music-world with it, but those guys are apparently having lots of fun with it and they fuelled enough light-speed to never get boring with what they're doing. Fortunately this is no artsy nanoloop-nuisance but highly dancefloor-oriented space-electronica. Mission completed![…]" Ox-Magazine, Germany, # 06-07/2005 (8/10 points)

"Gorgeous bleeps!"
Abel Gebhardt,Ox-Magazine, # 06-07/2005


" […] an intelligent, energizing, funny, ironical and most dancable album!
Jukka Tarkiainen and Jari Mikkola of Desert Planet point to "MARIO BUILT MY HOT ROD" that computer Fuzzitum can have a high fun factor.[…]"
Eva-Maria Vochazer, nordische-musik.de Germany


"[…] Yes, Desert Planet are taking you back to the cubic gameworlds of a long forgotten time, they're adapting the characteristic 8-Bit sounds, through which so many of us had to suffer due to a lack of cache memory. […] Likewise repetitive and thus plausible were the melodies to which Jukka Tarkiainen and Jari Mikkola are adding an appropriate rhythmic substructure. The result is partially sweetest disco-trash, partially danceable electronica and partially pure reminiscence. […]" Onetake.de (4/5 Points), 06/2005

"Their ability to craft a pop song, and like much of their countryfolk, love of a melody is what makes Desert Planet the true micromusic superstars that they are."
Casionova Blog (Australia) 12.3.2006

"Glorious 8-bit age!"
Die ka-news-CD-Tipps,Germany

" 80's lads, nostalgia minded, friends of Finnish Sauna and differently-thinking dance mice can access here."
DJ @ Soundbase-online.com( 9/12)


" So haben die Tracks passend dazu auch trashige Titel imaginärer Computerspiele wie 'return of the ninja droids'. Und was soll ich sagen – irgendwie groovet das Zeugs tatsächlich. "
SD @ Soundbase-online.com( 8,5/12)


Noise.fi Kalle Heino 4/5 ( Fin)

"In fact their fourth album goes far beyond sheer SID-chip-purism and instead uses those quirks and bleeps only as ornaments for great instrumental-pop with gorgeous titles like "Return Of The Ninja Droids" occasionally supported by Eläkeläiset sailors-choir. That's only in a restricted way funny, trashy or campy. It's in the first place the melancholy of the bygone times with a todays bang […]" SPEX, Germany, # 06/2005


Primitive electronic pop :
"Great and unique post-Kraftwerk -area Computerworld- electropop, inspired by early computergames like pac-man. A must for any “Kraftwerk : Computerworld” fan ..."
Greald Van Waes, Radio Centraal, Antwerpen ( Belgium )
Psyche van het Folk


" ...for people who lived through the early days of video games history, this music is a pure nostalgic pleasure."
Disagreement.net (Luxembourg) 8/10

" Great Elektro-Spacepunk-hymns, which move somewhere between Aavikko, Daft Punk and Kraftwerk"
Elektrolurch (germany)
Hans Korte ( 29. April 2005 )


Desibeli.net - Janne Kuusinen 3,5/5 (Fin)

"To friends of decent 8-Bit-soundcarpets I herewith recommend Desert Planet. There are probably people dancing to this stuff on/in front of their computers and clap their hands. High Score!!!"

"This is a must!"
Back Again (H.H.) (Germany)

"The new album "Mario built my hot rod" is out now via Germany's 9pm Records and is absolutely brilliant. My wife played it for her class of two-year-olds at preschool and they all danced to it for 45-minutes straight. And then they wanted to do it again! If that's not high praise, I don't know what is. Very, very recommended."

Desert Planet: Mario built my Hot Rod
Phinnweb chart june 2005 ( Fin)

That was Desert Planet from Finland who are playing sort of 8Bit-Nintendo-music with beats. Along with jumping and video-show. Were quite cool. Those videogame-scores from back then are anyway very catchy which took some time to get used to their music (esp. for those that are not so into that sound) but their melodies sounded really great.
Fihu/dorfblog (Germany)

Ein durch und durch genialer Musiktipp aus Finnland: Desert Planet präsentieren uns nostalgische und doch neue 8-Bit Mucke.
Geil. Ich bin wieder 10 Jahre alt und spiele Atari. Wir sitzen zu dritt auf dem grünen Teppich in unserem Spielzimmer und starren in die Röhre. :-D netraper.blog.de (Germany)

This is number 1 pico-pico- music!
Renaco (Japan)

Ninja Droids are OK!
Alfie June 10 2005

"...video is full of 8-bitty goodness and Daleks..."
(Friday Follies - a Day Early )
Sarcasmo´s Corner

As evidenced by my many posts featuring it, I love me the 8bit music. But what could take that love to the next level? Putting robot ninjas in your video, of course! Prepare for the Return of the Ninja Droids!
